Camera, lens, exposure, date and location, listed per photo. Nothing leaves your browser.
Each photo gets its own table. File lists the format, the file size, the stored size in pixels and the orientation flag. Camera lists make, model, lens and the software that last wrote the file. Exposure lists exposure time such as 1/250 s, aperture such as f/1.8, ISO, exposure compensation in EV, focal length, the 35 mm equivalent, flash, exposure program, metering mode and white balance. Dates lists the date taken, the date digitized and the date modified. Credits lists the artist and copyright fields. A row appears only when the file holds that value, so a screenshot gives a short table and a phone photo a long one. Dates are shown as the file wrote them, with no time zone, because EXIF does not store one in these fields. Orientation 6 means the pixels are stored sideways and a viewer turns them 90° clockwise to display them.
When a photo holds a GPS block with usable numbers, the table shows latitude and longitude as decimal degrees to six places with a hemisphere letter, such as 48.858400 N, and the altitude in metres when the file has one. A warning above the table says that location data is present and that anyone who gets the file can read where the photo was taken. The page never draws a map and never builds a link that carries the coordinates, so they are not handed to any other site. Some files hold a location block with no readable numbers. They are still reported as having location data, because the block is there. To get rid of it, the Remove Photo Metadata tool saves a copy drawn again from the pixels.
Under the table, four tiles say whether the file holds an EXIF block, an XMP block, an IPTC block and an ICC colour profile. JPEG files are walked segment by segment up to the start of the picture data. PNG files are walked chunk by chunk, so an eXIf chunk stored after the picture is found. WebP files are walked chunk by chunk too. For EXIF the tool reads the values listed above. For XMP, IPTC and the colour profile it only tells you that the block exists; it does not decode what is inside, and it does not read the private notes some makers add in a MakerNote field. An empty result means the file has none of these four blocks, which is common after a chat app or a website has re-saved the picture.
The tool reads the first 8 MB of each photo, and the table says so when a file is longer. You can add up to 50 photos at once, in JPEG, PNG or WebP. HEIC, GIF, RAW and TIFF files are not accepted. The file is read inside this tab by your browser; there is no upload step, and the file on your device is not changed. Copy as text puts the table of one photo on the clipboard, and Copy all as text joins every photo. The download is a plain text file per photo, or one zip when you added several. The page counts visits with Google Analytics, using only the tool name and rough groups such as the number of files and a size group, never a file name or any value from a photo.
Look for a Location group in the table and a warning above it. Phone cameras write GPS coordinates when location access is on for the camera app. A photo that was saved again by a chat app or a social site often has them removed, so a file that you downloaded may show none while the original on your phone does.
No. Your browser reads the first 8 MB of the file in this tab and the page builds the table from those bytes. Nothing is sent to a server and the file is not modified. Reading a photo here is like opening it in a file viewer on your own device.
A row shows only when the file stores that value. Cameras differ in what they write, editing software may drop fields, and the private maker notes at the end of an EXIF block are not read at all. Lens, exposure compensation and the 35 mm equivalent are common gaps in photos from older cameras.
It is a flag from 1 to 8 that tells a viewer how to turn the stored pixels. 1 is normal. 6 means rotate 90° clockwise to display, 8 means rotate 270° clockwise, and 3 means rotate 180°. The size row shows the stored pixels, so a portrait phone photo with orientation 6 can list its width larger than its height.
No. This tool names the block and tells you whether it exists, since those blocks hold free text such as keywords, captions or editing history. If the table says XMP or IPTC is present and you want it gone, save a clean copy with Remove Photo Metadata.
JPEG, PNG and WebP, up to 50 at a time. EXIF is read from JPEG files, from the eXIf chunk of a PNG and from the EXIF chunk of a WebP. HEIC photos straight from an iPhone are not accepted here.
